Tony Clark Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 1) Brewster Buffalo - (to suit 52fs) would appeal to both American and UK markets. 2) Me 262 (EDF) 3) Yak 3 (52fs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My vote 1. Vulcan EDF 2. Hellcat 3. not sure ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Phillips Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The most undermodelled ever was the Folland Gnat. Could we have the full pack 70-80" EDF, just think 7 of these together and you would have the original re-creation of the RED ARROWS, the gauntlets down chaps.

trevor williams 3 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I would suggest the following model aeroplanes for Tony to consider for designing that w`ould enable ARTF flyers to progress into plan build models with very good flight characteristics as ffollows: 1. Druine turbulent - good looking, not too complicated and very stable mild aerobatic 1st scale model- say 65 -75 inch span. 2. DHC Chipmunk - superb low wing model with excellent slow handling and landing features. Never known this model not to please. 3. Tuccano - without retracts flies fast and looks great in the air, though not a beginners model . Ideal wing span 60- 65 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Vogel Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yes, Please! The FW189 has been on my list for a year, my father was navigator/tailgunner on one stationed in the arctic circle. I would love to honor him with a good scale model of this very rare bird (only one remains that I am aware of, recovered from a Siberian forest where it was shot down, it was purchased by Paul Allen to be restored for his heritage of flight museum in Seattle).

Steve W-O Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wasn't going to post here, as I thought it will almost certainly turn out to be yet another WW2 craft. I have chose 3 of my favourite, the Bronco has been modelled before, not extensively, but I have not see either the Nomad or Buffalo modelled. I chose these three because They have all been used in military and civilian livery (I have no interest in "warbirds") Much of the constrction is flat sections They are all twin engined, with electric power this isn't the problem some people saw with IC. They are all special in their own way, and have flying characteristics not usually found. They are all still in use (well, that is if the Philippine airforce didn't crash another Bronco or Nomad yesterday ) They are all very distinctive to look at, and would be eyecatchers as models. OV-10 Bronco DH-5 Buffalo GAF Nomad All of them have interesting histories and very varied fields of service Edited By Steve W-O on 21/11/2010 09:17:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Posted by David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 17/11/2010 12:45:40: That leaves plenty more enticing subjects though if previous voting has been anything to go by so just leave a post below stating your top three choices. Pretty much anything goes although adoption of the winner will be subject to Tony's confirmation of the practical viabilities - in reality we don't anticipate a problem but then we don't know what the winner will be.Please vote once only, thanks. A separate chat thread exists alongside this so folks can chat about the voting and subject matter etc. Please leave comments and thoughts there...... I'm following all this with interest and it's not surprising that there's almost as many different marques being suggested as there are forumites! I'm just relieved I don't have to do the counting........... However, as usual, it seems not everyone can understand the simple guidelines David posted at the start of the voting (above). Apart from the determination some have to discuss their choices in the voting thread, I've noticed that already one voter is up to nine different choices.......are the instructions too complicated or do people just choose to ignore them?

David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 As Pete says, bit of a chaotic start so please remember to vote for no more than 3 and in just one post please.

Tim Mackey Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sorry Dan, ( and others ) but we can stick to "serious" suggestions only in the actual voting thread - if we have to sift out all the fanciful stuff it makes the job of counting accurately that much more difficult. By all means let your imagination run riot in the "chat" thread. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I cant see Tony accepting the challenge of building the USS Enterprise as serious - your reasons are immaterial - its simply not a viable model aeroplane.
